Sorry if anyone on here drives one and does the right thing but something that does annoy me is WRX drivers. :P

Yesterday as I was heading towards the AIS I had some idiot in a black 05/06 model WRX come speeding past me in the 60 zone doing about 120! He then proceeded to narrowly miss the front of my car as he had to change lanes before he ran up the arse of a car turning into a driveway. The stupid number plate was something along the lines of "REXY2C" BAH HUMBUG!! :no: The guy's mentality was something like 'Oh yeah I just raced a Skyline and beat it because I was speeding and it was doing the speed limit, yeah I am so tough!'

The other WRX incident was this morning and an OLD MAN (grey hair, wrinkles and all!!) driving!! Going along Canberra Ave at the traffic lights outside HMAS Harman. The guy was right next to me the whole way from when the light turned green, I backed off the gas as the diesel infront was spraying my car with black crap, so then this old man proceeded to avoid the 'Form One Lane' and cut me off then get on the brakes!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr how I hate them and their attitude towards Skylines so... :)

The rivalry between WRX's and Skylines is a load of bull, seeing as we Skyline drivers do nothing to provoke the Wanker Racer (e)Xtreme he he he... :) if you want to race, line up at the lights, then you won't be so tough!!!

There are some absolute wankers in rexes, on a recent trip to sydney I had a full kebab-spec rex blast up behind me, change lanes at the last second and roar around me on the inside at about 180km/h. After me he proceded to do the same thing to an AMG SL merc who was cruising along up ahead.

Boy, did he ever show us... (I was hoping the SL would really show him what-for, but alas, he didn't)

Yeah I hate WRX drivers too in the last month i almost had 2 crash in to me

#1 didn`t pull up in time i had move around it , driver didn`t see me his girlfriend s#$t herself

#2 One raced up the inside of me on a roundabout couldn`t stay in his lane , i had to jam the brakes on

my mate got a WRX i was telling him how bad WRX drivers were he told me i was full of S#$T the next day he got rear ended by ........... u guess it a WRX

Here's another one... Gee I seem to be an easily ticked off person lol...

If anyone has been to the Woolworths in Queanbeyan you will know what I am talking about. I like to park right up the back of the car park away from everyone else to limit scratches and dents that suddenly like to appear on cars after being in a car park.

This afternoon while I was doing a little grocery shopping, like usual, I parked up the back isolated. After having been in Woolworths for no more than 15 minutes I was parked in (cars either side of me!) :mad: Sure it is a free world but both these cars on either side of me were parked right on the line literally making me have to squeeze out :P

There were plenty of other places to park, why me!? :( But then again they were both red P Platers in sh!tty standard beaten up VS Commodores NOW IT MAKES SENSE! Trying to look cool parked next to a Skyline... :sick:

  • 2 weeks later...

tossers on ebay who describe stuff as mint when it's not, and then use dumb ass excuses like:

'yeah i noticed that before the end of the auction but couldn't revise the description' (but still managed to send it after i payed)

or

'well it was described as mint, and it is...it only had a small external part broken off it.'

fark!!!

Hey all,

I am rather p!ssed off right now, so I thought this would be an appropriate time to bring back this thread to have a rant! :rant:

Today I spent at least a good 2 hours doing the following repeditively:

Hand painting white on to the hood

Wet sand using wet/dry sand paper

Cutting compound

Buff/Polish

There is a reason to my madness... My wonderful neighbour (who has been giving me crap because I apparently park my car across a "walkway" (in my own car spot :huh: ) and park too close to his storage room. So seeing as there has been a lot of stuff going on with this guy he has decided to start KEYING MY CAR. I have (well HAD, until my labour today) 7 deep key scratches at the front of my hood from one side to the other. I know it was a key as I went to air addiction to get a quote on re-spraying my car, yesterday, and pointed out the scratches (they were not there Friday night)... As you can imagine I was rather annoyed! :mad: seeing as he was a professional I asked him what the cause was. His diagnosis was either a coin, or a car key (not a house) because the pressure and angle changes along the scratches as they go along the car i.e this fat a$$hole walks along infront of my car (he is the only person who does it) and nicely drags his key along the hood of my baby! :)

Luckily now, after a little, well a LOT of elbow grease, the car looks like it never had a mark on it! But really that is not the point. The guys doesn't believe my car is a Jap Import OR is worth more than his 1995-1997 Magna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :rant::rant::rant::):verymad::verymad:

Fuvk that!!! id either kick his arse or catch him doing it (with an appropriate witness) and sue the ARSE off him for the cost of a full respray and the "many hours labour" youve spent fixing it in the past and the "trauma" of going through the ordeal.

Seriously, bash him. or kick in a panel on his car.

Interesting nieghbour you've got there Emily.

I try not to piss off to many people when I'm in my car as it's not a car you see everyday and could probably be easily tracked if they wanted revenge.

what if one were to accidently stumble across your neighbours car. :) ... :)

Yeah Miv, Canberra's a small place.. a very small place. You'd be surprised how much you bump into others.. and their cars.

"You know what really grinds my gears? This Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan with all those little outfits, jumping around there on stage, half-naked with your little outfits. Ya know? You're a... You're out there jumping around and I'm just sitting here with my beer. So, what am I supposed to do? What you want? You know, are we gonna go out? Is that what you're trying to - why why are you leaping around there, throwing those things all up in my, over there in my face? What do you want, Lindsay? Tell me what you want? Well, I'll tell you what you want, you want nothing. You want nothing. All right? Because we all know that no woman anywhere wants to have sex with anyone, and to titillate us with any thoughts otherwise is - is just bogus."

Nah, ever seen what brake fluid does to paint? Mwah ha ha ha ha :O:O:)

What you need to use is "Skydrol" it is used on Aircraft hydraulics and is very nasty stuff, once it goes on it strips the paint and etches into the metal so it cannot be painted over unless it is acid cleaned or sand blasted.If you like i still have some contacts at Qantas. Haha (just a thought)

lol i cant believe your NEIGHBOUR would do that to your car, i mean jealous f**ks in carparks, yeah, but neighbours? wtf?

my choices would be

A) Confront the mother f**ker and tell him youll key his face.

B) If the storage unit has some sort of flashy door, grab your key and go nuts. if not get some paint and write something smart yet challenging like "Key this bitch", or if his car is outside, write that on his bonnet in some nice engravement, dont be too shy on the pressure though, you wanna go reeeeeaaaal deep

C) Eggs are your friend :)

D) get one of those really loud horns (fog horn) and sit out the front of his house/apartment/unit where you would think he slept and give him some. only problem with this is you might wanna be quick in your escape as catching you in the act is baaaad.

If i were in your situation, id probably try B) first just to get a reaction. then id park my car somewhere secure that he cant get to :O

Invite SAU round to your place for an impromptu get together. We just may influence his future behaviour if he knows you have a shit load of male freinds driving Skylines also. Being a chick he prolly thinks he can intimidate you with vandalising your car.

If he really wants to see agro and revenge I'm certain some of us can make him piss his pants and cause irrepairable damage to his magna.

If the Police would take it seriously I'd say report it but theyre so useless in Oz youd be lucky if they even recorded a statement or questioned him.

Yeh, actually go with the egss, wait till 1am though so theres no chanc of being caught, get a full dozen and go to town, theyll backe in so deeo he'll have to use and angle grinder to get em out.

Where abouts do you live?

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
